Hey everyone,

What kind of columns should I make and what kind of stone veneer should I wrap the bottom
Of my front portico with? I'm just moving into the house so my trim will all go from purple to white and also the shutters will be off and will be replaced with thicker trim.

Paint the whole portico white except the gable. Paint that the color of your house. Paint the trim, facia, and gutters white. Paint the top of the bay window the same color as you new shutter color. Paint the shutters a darker color than the house and paint the front door something bright. See inspiration pic.

No stone. It's doesn't go with the style of you home and it won't tie in as you don't have stone anywhere else. Hope this helps!
